I was reading about BIOS recovery and ran across the word “programmer”.
(No, it’s not talking about people.)
What is it referring to?
Answer
The BIOS is usually stored on an EEPROM chip — an Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory. Under ideal conditions you can flash it with a little bit of software. If things go spectacularly bad (i.e. the system is bricked), you’d have to pop the chip out of the motherboard, pop it into a programmer, rewrite the chip with it, then pop it back into the system.
